[video] Halloween Curse shenanigans

[chambermusicandtenpins]

Well, I have to admit, this has been a very curious morning.

[Albus Dumbledore is sitting in a chair in front of a small table in a place that is not his normal living quarters shhhh and looking at his own hand with a small, mischievous look on his face.

There's nothing in his hand, until his smears his thumb over his palm and a small hard candy appears. He raises his hand up and drops into the palm of his other hand. And then drops another hard candy, and another. And then he releases a candy cane, and a lollipop, and a roll of taffy, letting them accumulate in a small pile on a table in front of him, each item appearing out of thin air.

It's almost like watching a magician pull a trick, except his sleeves are rolled up, and he doesn't have his wand.

He seems utterly delighted by this, his eyes shining with even more mischief than normal.]


Tell me, would anyone be interested in some candy?


((OOC: Dumbledore is now a deity! Specifically the deity of sweets.))

That is entirely up to you.

[His cheeks pink and he feels...what is that? Embarrassment? Does he feel...humble?]

I have made great strides in my learning!

[action]

[chambermusicandtenpins]

Perhaps by teaching you to indulge a bit.

[As he says it, a small sugar candy heart appears on Gellert's bottom lip.]

I'm sure you have. It has only been a single morning's worth of flying you've been able to practice.

[action]

[greatestgood]

[He would argue, but the taste of sugar is distracting. Gellert draws the candy into his mouth and closes his eyes, letting it melt on his tongue.]

I will be an expert in a few days. [He will not allow himself to fail in this. Flying is too intoxicating.]

[action]

[chambermusicandtenpins]

You like it? [As he asks, there is a devilish spark in Albus' eye, and he reaches up to trace Gellert's bottom lip with his thumb.]

I have faith in you. You conquer everything you set yourself to, and I imagine this is included.

[action]

[greatestgood]

[Gellert's eyes open and his lips part to argue...until he feels the touch. Even an angel must sigh.]

I will take you with me into the sky. I wouldn't drop you.

[action]

[chambermusicandtenpins]

I'll take that as a yes, then. [And he leaves his thumb there, resting the pad of it on Gellert's bottom lip.]

I would like that. I'd love to see what it felt like to soar up into the sky with your arms around me.

[action]

[greatestgood]

[His eyes narrow and he mischievously touches the tip of his tongue to Albus's thumb.]

Will you? [Even like this, he won't go down without a fight.] You make it sound infinitely romantic.

[action]

[chambermusicandtenpins]

That I do. You don't find the idea of soaring through the sky together romantic, Gellert?

[As if to punctuate the idea, he grins and leans forward to press a light, quick kiss to Gellert's mouth, before pulling away with a wicked look in his eye.]

[action]

[greatestgood]

It is ridiculously romantic. [He rests his fingertips against Albus's cheek, featherlight. The blue of one eye is intense while the other remains black.] In order to accomplish it, you will need to hold onto me.

[action]

[chambermusicandtenpins]

[He smiles softly and leans his face into the touch.] I will. As tightly as you'd like.

[action]

[greatestgood]

[Color rises high on his cheeks and he frowns a little.] Are you trying to seduce me?

[action]

[chambermusicandtenpins]

[Still grinning:] How could I ever hope to seduce someone so virtuous as an angel?

[action]

[greatestgood]

You are still trying. [Or maybe it has something to do with Albus being Albus. Gellert is impossibly attracted!]

[action]

[chambermusicandtenpins]

You've caught me. I am. Is it succeeding?

[With a grin, he emphasizes the thought by leaning in and pressing a long, lingering kiss to Gellert's mouth. His lips will taste sweeter than usual, with slight traces of sugar left on his tongue.]

[action]

[greatestgood]

Mm - [He sighs into the sweet warmth, his lips parting on instinct. They have shared too many kisses for him to do otherwise, though he looks ruffled when they part.] I should be having an effect on you; not the other way around!

[action]

[chambermusicandtenpins]

[He chuckles at that while looking completely unapologetic.] Ah, how terrible, to try so hard to be virtuous when some mischievous soul tries to unmoor you. Do you wish me to stop?

[As he says it, one of his hands settles on the small of Gellert's back, and he leans forward so their foreheads rest together.]

[action]

[greatestgood]

[How can he say stop? The word won't form on his lips or his tongue. Gellert blames the sugary confection.]

Are you trying to make me your angel?

Re: [action]

[chambermusicandtenpins]

You’re already mine. I claimed you, remember?

[Being a deity has added a boldness to him that he would not dare have before. It’s clear in the way he emphasizes his words, with a greedy, possessive kiss that lasts until they begin to lose breath.]

[action]

[greatestgood]

[Oh those are good memories and even Gellert's wings shiver. He moans and grabs hold of Albus's shirt to keep him near. Breathing is secondary, but he gasps for air nonetheless when they part.]

You were quite adamant about claiming me, I recall.

[action]

[chambermusicandtenpins]

[He grins ever so widely at Gellert's reaction, and he shifts in closer, his arm wrapping ever more closely around Gellert's back.]

I was. I needed to be sure there was no question in your mind.

[action]

[greatestgood]

[It doesn't help that Albus's hands are encountering bare skin since Gellert isn't wearing a shirt.]

I'm not sure an angel should have memories of that nature.

[He traces over Albus's face with light fingers.]

[action]

[chambermusicandtenpins]

And yet you have them all the same.

[He dips his face to press a kiss to Gellert's neck, nestling his face against his throat. All the while, his hand traces the bare skin of Gellert's chest, the heel of his palm running down his side and to his belly.]

Would you prefer to forget? To not have any recollections of all the times we've touched each other?

[action]

[greatestgood]

I remember...everything. [His voice is husky and breathless. Without thinking, he tips his head back and arches into those wandering hands. His wings arch and then Gellert closes them around Albus and himself, hiding them from the sky.] I could never forget your lips, the feel of your beard, your perfect hands...

Nor could I forget the delicious pressure of you inside of me or me inside of you.

[His cheeks flush brightly and he grabs Albus's hand, trying to still it.]

I feel...lust! [But... He trembles.] I feel love too.

[action]

[chambermusicandtenpins]

[Albus stills his hand at Gellert's grasp, his face staying nestled against Gellert's neck. There is such a comforting intimacy in being shielded together by a flurry of such beautiful wings, cocooned in white together in lovely unity. And the words pouring out of Gellert's mouth make it even more wonderful, a river of exquisite memories, but it is the last ones that truly still him.

Quietly, fondly, he asks:]

You feel love for me, Gellert?

[action]

[greatestgood]

Yes. So much of it! [How has it missed his notice? How has he not been able to name it? As an angel, it is so damn clear that it is like gazing into the sun! Gellert wraps Albus in his arms too, understanding that all the jealousy and anger he had once felt was fear; fear over the loss of the man he has loved since that fateful summer.]

It's frightening. [And wonderful.]
